1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submissions of responses.
Standard Form 3104, Application for Death Benefits under the
Federal Employees Retirement System, is needed to collect information
so that OPM can pay death benefits to the survivor of Federal employees
and annuitants. SF 3104B, Documentation in Support of Application for
Death Benefits When Deceased Was an Employee at the Time of Death, is
needed for deaths in service so that survivors can make the needed
elections regarding health benefits, military service and payment of
the death benefit.
